Looking at an almost empty "tin" of Penetrex Pain Relief Therapy I found at walmart or walgreens a few years ago. It was OK, nothing magic and I never bought anymore.
Two topicals I always use are Epson salt gel followed by Arnica gel. Then I sometimes follow those with DMSO after I really work an area with pressure.
This stuff, if was long term, will not all heal from lyme treatment. In cases where people say it does, well, I don't think they had it that bad. It will be easier, but you may still need to persuade it with some form of manual therapy. Stretching does not work, pressure does.
In effort not to repeat, have you read and tried things I've written about
for this? I manually fixed many muscles and tendons in my body after abx. Diet can make a varying difference to.
Tennis elbow, felt on the outside of the elbow actually is refereed pain from the inside of elbow where the two main forearm muscles turn into tendons. A chiro or nontraditional PT can fix this with Active Release Technique.

PF on the bottom of the foot can be from tight calf muscles or any other
location on the legs, even glutes since they are all connected. Or pinched nerve higher up even in the lower back. This can be more obvious if changing a sleep side results in different or no foot pain in the morning getting out of bed. Standing / slightly rolling on a golf ball can help this too at least temporarily. Foot Drs are in some ways idiots, as they only look at the feet. Standing / slightly rolling on a golf ball can help this too. I know one who wrote this great "foot book", but nothing about
the connections above it - total idiot example of conventional medicine thought. He was zero use to me. "The Triggerpoint workbook " written decades ago was way better.
